Help With DXLF2 boot.img

Help me please. I am cooking a custom ROM that will be based on stock DXLF2. Problem is, dsixda kitchen's latest version posted last July 2012 is unable to utilize the boot.img to extract the kernel and ramdisk (kitchen says the boot.img format is unsupported). I want to utilize the kernel I compiled. If you must know, I use ubuntu linux as a virtualbox guest (12.04).

All my thanks for the day will go to the fellow who could provide me with a solution as well as an explanation. Thanks and more power to everybody!

Never mind guys. I already solved my little problem. Moderators please close this thread.

i wonder..how did you fix it?

Nothing special bro. I suddenly realized that the boot.img file off my CWM backup was made using Madteam's CWM. So, I just used the one off Doky's DXLF2 firmware as a replacement instead.

Do you have the rom zip still on memory?
If so just flash it (wiping data/cache/dvalik etc) the rom zip should contain the kernel anyway

[e980][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch

Main thread + features + install instructions + dev support
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
PhilZ Touch is a CWM Advanced Edition that adds all the features you could ever miss in CWM
It is a well proven recovery for many phones
It also adds a full touch interface a completely configurable GUI
Please give your feedback, what works, and any bug you could encounter
Read the features, and check if you are missing something
Also, do not forget to read about the powerful aroma file manager integration and double tap shortcut
Download links
Last version can be found here:

Locked bootloader? How to lokify before flashing:
In Advanced Menu / Toggle Loki Support : enable auto loki
Flash the zip file and you are done
However, all versions released after PhilZ Touch 6.01.2 will have a script in installer to lokify the image even if you are coming from older recoveries or TWRP.
Unlocked bootloader users can still extract the recovery.img file and restore it from inside recovery:
put recovery.img in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/philz_update/recovery.img
In Custom Backup and Restore menu, unselect all except recovery
validate to browse to the update recovery.img
done

I will try it and post results later

Yes :good:
And, please, people, read the FAQ and guides on main thread before complaining...
CM users need /data/media while all NORMAL people can use default setting
Because cm defaults to a custom non existing path: /sdcard/0 while it should use /sdcard or just /data/media/0 or auto detect like I do

I don't have auto detect option

I noticed this recovery is not lokied. Is that ok for our devices?

hypnz said:

No
If you have a folder /data/media/0, by default, this recovery will use /sdcard linked to /data/media/0
Since Cyanogen Updater is silly and using /sdcard/0, we end up with /data/media/0/0 which will fail
So, if you are a CM ROMs fan, set it to /data/media
If you use stock ROMs and you have /data/media/0 as sdcard in main ROM, keep it to /data/media/0 to be able to directly see your files in the good path in recovery AND in ROM

[ROM][d802] Recovery Flashable d802 STOCK 80220B Open EUR (rootable)

Made this from the new 80220B Open EUR XX kdz. This is the 16GB/32GB version. Works well, no Bloat, no carrier logos or splashscreens. I'm on SIM Free UK version, for interest. But this will work on any European d802. 4G is fine.
This is the complete LG KK 20B ROM - nothing missing or messed with.
If you follow the method below exactly, no Audio glitches, no Touchscreen problems.
You can flash SuperSU and get root if you wish - your choice.
I provide this assuming you have an understanding of the terminology used below and appreciate that any flashing activity has some risk.
I strongly advise against using any form of restore from previous backups, such as TB or Nandroid.
Once the process is complete, custom recovery will be lost.
Method:
Download both the ROM zip file linked below and SuperSU zip file (if you want root) and copy to your SD card.
You need to be already on Rooted JB or PURE CM11 with either TWRP 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 (nothing else).
Reboot to TWRP recovery
Wipe: System, Data, Cache. Dalvik (nothing else)
Flash the ROM zip - ignore any "FAIL" warnings.
Wipe Cache and Dalvik (nothing else)
Go to the Mount page in TWRP and select System (leave the other defaults alone)
Flash the SuperSU zip - ignore any "FAIL" warnings
Reboot
Done

the rom files for 16gb and 32gb are exactly the same. so it doesn't matter so it seems. check: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51065312&postcount=4061

Has anyone flashed this on a 32GB device?

Thanks for this
In guessing that if we want a fully open flashable system as before we need to install this ROM, then flash the patched Kernel, then reflash our custom recovery, all in the same recovery session. Is that right?

From what I understand, they have different chips so I would flash the one for your C6503 which was already released by Nut a little while ago now.
This is the thread for your C6503:

Would you be able to create a stripped FTF?
Nevermind, it's in your flashable file.
Thanks.

Upgrade to 10.4.1.B.0.101 without issue using files in this thread.
Kept root and everything else, no need to re-install any apps.
Thanks.

I believe if you only flash the zip through cwm, you will be stuck in a bootloop, you will need to flash the kernel too using flashtool.

Thanks. I went back to the .423 build (4.2.2) so I could root and already got a notification for the .244 update. Do I download (and install) the update?
Afterwards, is the procedure the same?:
1 - Put 'Flashable.101.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
2 - Put '10.4.1 .B.0.101_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
3 - Create a backup of your phone in TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard' (the internal storage!);
4 - Flash 'C65XX_10.4.1.B.0.101.flashable.zip' in TWRP;
NOTE: do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C65XX_10.4.1.B.0.101_Stripped.ftf' using flashtool;
Reboot to system.

After rooting 4.2.2, you need to update to 4.3 10.4.B.0.569 using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567266
Then proceed with .101.

Went straight to .101.... no problems whatsoever, but thanks for the advice.

Just flash the stock FTF if you need to come back to stock. It will be back to full stock without root or recovery if that's what you need. Use Flashtool to flash in Flashmode
If you flash my zip through cwm and did nothing else than that's probably why you cant boot, just flash the stripped FTF via flashtool. you probably cant boot becoz of your custom Kernel.

I am currently on the eXistenZ Rom with Android 4.2.2. I have root and CWM installed.
Can I flash this straight on top? Is it only a zip for CWM and nothing else? Would I keep root if I flash this?
Thank you in advance.

I came from pac man rom and was able to do a full wipe, flash zip in cwm, and then turn off phone and use flash mode to flash the ftf kernal. Kept root and zero issues so far. Some one please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you can do the same thing.
